So as much as I wanted to think I would be up and about without a lot of pain and feeling just fine after surgery, I must admit this little procedure has had quite a toll on me. I'm in a lot more pain than I thought I would be and am requiring more pain medication than I expected to take. I'm also feeling exhausted!! I can't explain why I feel so tired and why I find myself falling asleep every time I sit on the sofa and get a little comfy.
I refuse to think it's my age because I'm still only a tender thirty something;) Can't imagine what would have happened if I required a total mastectomy! Well, I'm going to take advantage of my personal nurse/indentured servant for the next 2 weeks (aka my sister Sophia); and yes I guess they were all right when they said I would need 2-4 weeks to recuperate, I will no longer argue and just take this time to recover.
Dear Sabina, you simply must rest and take your pain medication - it will help you recouperate faster. No one should be in pain or discomfort, especially if you have a choice and can tolerate narcotics! Sending you very tender hugs :)
